(Sharecast News) - Wednesday will bring with it the week's key risk event, a reading on the cost of living in the United States.
Consensus is that at 1330 BST the Department of Labor will announce that consumer prices rose at a month-on-month pace of 0.2% in December.
That would push the annual rate of increase in headline CPI up by one tenth of a percentage point to 2.8%.
Core CPI on the other hand was seen up by 0.2% on the month and 3.3% year-on-year, with the latter being the same clip as in November.
Also set for release at the same time is the so-called 'Empire State' regional factory index for January.
On home shores, CPI data for December will be released at 0700 BST.
Economists forecast an increase of 0.4% on the month and 2.7% year-on-year.
Across the Channel, French and Spanish CPI figures for December are due out at 0745 BST and 0800 BST, respectively.
